Putting Together a Brisbane University Ball

A university ball in Brisbane is usually run by a student club or society committee, with a set budget, a big guest list and a date that has to work around exams. The venue sets the tone, but the extras are what students talk about afterwards.

Get quotes early and in writing, as committees change from year to year. A clear handover file saves next year's team from starting again, and lets them compare prices fairly.

Pieces a ball committee needs to book:

  • A venue with a dance floor and seating for the full guest list, such as a function centre, hotel ballroom or golf club
  • A photo booth with props and unlimited prints, from $799
  • A florist for table centrepieces and styling
  • A DJ or band to run the dance floor
  • Transport, such as a party bus, to get guests home safely

Browse venues, DJs and party buses to build the night, and event florists for the tables.

Budgeting for a ball

  • Work out a per-ticket price that covers the venue, food, entertainment and extras
  • Ask the venue for a per-person package to keep costs predictable
  • Set aside part of the budget for decorations and a photo booth

Booking tips

  • Book the venue first, as large rooms book out a year ahead
  • Avoid exam periods and the late-year rush of formals and Christmas parties
  • Get every quote in writing and pass it to next year's committee

On the night

  • Have a committee member on hand to meet suppliers
  • Run the photo booth near the dance floor
  • Organise transport from inner venues by train, bus or CityCat, or a party bus
